Harmonization of our manufacturing facilities in the US and Europe is in progress.
- Raw materials—expanding our multi-compendial library for common chemical raw materials and standard bag offerings
- Equipment—continually expanding our liquid capabilities for both AO and AOF requests
- Finished product testing—USP/EP testing available; sterility, endotoxin, conductivity, osmolality, pH, etc.
Access warehousing and logistical services in addition to quality manufacturing. Whether your needs are short-term or long-term, we have storage to suit your production and distribution requirements. Manage your shipping by choosing from temperature-controlled, cold, and ambient-temperature warehouses located all over the globe.
Take control of your product delivery
Thermo Fisher Scientific’s supplier qualification program is designed to provide customers with more control over product delivery. We’ve implemented a robust supply risk mitigation strategy to help ensure that our suppliers meet the rigorous standards required to avoid stock-outs and shortages.
Thermo Fisher Scientific enables you to focus on delivering biotherapeutics and vaccines without worrying about costly production interruptions. With an expanded global reach and dual sourcing of raw materials, we’re able to leverage economies of scale and access high-quality resources at the best prices—so you can expect more savings on more options.
To meet current and future customer requirements for insourcing large-volume liquids or bulk liquids, our Grand Island manufacturing facility will adhere to the following standards, supporting consistent performance for each batch:

Our robust supplier management program helps ensure sourcing from qualified and audited raw material suppliers. We have qualified multiple raw-material sources for risk mitigation and contingency planning purposes. We also offer Animal Origin Free (AOF) manufacturing segregation with single-use liquid management systems. These single-use advantages alleviate cleaning, validation, and cross-contamination concerns.
Custom media, buffers, and process liquid formulations and their packaging
We offer expanded expertise in BPC film for bulk liquids. Get multiple proprietary BPC films in customizable types and sizes—only from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
- CX5-14 and Aegis5-14 films are validated for liquid fills and shipments from Grand Island and Paisley
